a motorway on which cars run briskly

A car stopped on the side of the road.

He looks around and suddenly starts to reverse.

As soon as you enter the second lane from the shoulder, the following truck cannot avoid it and hits it.

The driver, A in his 60s, was trying to reverse to enter the exit that had already passed, and it was an accident.The impact of the

accident set the car on fire and Mr. A was trapped inside.

[PARK JEONG WOO / Witness: People, first of all, people are riding, so at the time, the car was exploding, and it was exploding like this. I was surprised. I was surprised..]

The red tour bus that followed stopped in a hurry and passengers got off one by one and gathered at the scene of the accident.

Private taxi drivers in Pohang, who were on a group trip, got off the bus and started rescue together.

I jumped into the car with the idea of saving people even in dangerous situations.

Fortunately, I got A before the fire got bigger and took him to the hospital.

[O Ja-woon / Witness: Half the car was on fire, and I went in to see if there was anyone there. So I broke the glass with my feet and my hands and saw that there was a person inside, so I took the person out.]

Both A and the truck driver have been confirmed to be life-threatening.

Police are investigating the exact circumstances of the accident based on the black box video.
